Is this programme for me?

Through the Pre-Masters Programme in Engineering and Computing, you will:

• Develop your understanding of concepts within mathematics and computing, including hardware, software and issues around design and usability
• Gain the mathematical skills necessary for postgraduate study by covering topics such as linear, second order, constant coefficient ordinary differential equations and apply to the modelling of engineering problems
• Complete a subject related research project.

When you complete the Pre-Masters Programme in Engineering and Computing, and achieve the required grades, you can progress to Water, Energy and the Environment MSc at Liverpool John Moores University.

Leading to: Water, Energy and the Environment MSc

Study fundamental engineering and scientific principles at postgraduate level on this CIWEM accredited MSc in Water, Energy and the Environment from LJMU.

• This Programme is also available as a 240 credit routeway including a Group Project and Dissertation
• Study a curriculum informed by the School's close partnerships with industry and professional practice expertise
• Follow a curriculum accredited by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM)
• Benefit from the internationally acclaimed research of the Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Research Centre (BEST)
• Follow in the footsteps of graduates who have won CIWEM sponsored national prizes for excellence and achievement

This Masters programme is designed to help you become a competent environmental engineer and manager. It will give you a sound knowledge of fundamental engineering and scientific principles, together with the ability to apply these to design, construction, assessment, analysis, operation and management.

The programme has two principal aims. First, to equip you with the necessary competencies and skills to analyse, assess and manage all principal aspects within the fields of water, energy and the environment. Second, to give you the professional skills, knowledge and experience to both meet the current demands of industry and influence possible future trends.

As a student on this programme you will acquire the necessary techniques to analyse and solve environmental problems. You will critically evaluate the environmental impact of human activities and demonstrate knowledge of national and international environmental policy and regulation. In addition, you will gain the ability to critically evaluate design and operations and use appropriate mathematical models for environmental modelling and assessment.
